My point is not about the order of discussions but is a suggestion that if we have time, we should have a special session for ourselves. Some of the solutions we are going to propose will be around social housing, modular housing and housing for groups with special housing needs. What we have got traditionally and will get in the future is local opposition to this kind of proposal. There will be councillors, in some cases representative of the parties around this table, who will be voting against those kind of proposals. We should have a session about political opposition to it and how we address that as a group. It is something we should do if we have time, perhaps at the end. I recommend that we would have a short session on that for ourselves.
